🎃 Harvest Fest Recap Harvest Fest was a huge success with an overwhelming response of participation from our PTA, families, and students. There were smiles all around as everyone enjoyed the evening. The dance team gave an amazing Thrill of Oz performance that wowed the crowd, and the Haunted Hallway truly lived up to its name. It was a fun night filled with excitement, laughter, and school spirit. 📸:Mr.Julion
